EP 198 The Biggest Mistake People Make in Real Estate

Most people think the biggest mistake in real estate is buying at the wrong time or picking the wrong market.  In this episode of Keeping It Real Estate, Dan Brisse explains why the real danger is treating real estate like a side hustle instead of a business. He breaks down how accidental landlords destroy returns by underestimating expenses, ignoring reserves, mismanaging debt, and making emotional decisions. Dan also explains why thin margins get exposed in tougher cycles, how rising insurance, taxes, and interest rates impact cash flow, and why diversified multifamily portfolios are more durable than single single-family rentals.  If you want predictable, long-term wealth in real estate, this episode will challenge you to think like a disciplined operator and structure your deals to survive bad years, not just good ones.
